In a nutshell, StudioPass is Yelp meets Goop meets Etsy.

The site would need to start like something like Kijiji, where locations and experiences (classes) can be listed for free.
All places and experiences, however, are verified.
Only real places and experiences are allowed on StudioPass.

Revenue Streams

From there, the site has access to a multitude of revenue options such as:

• Business premium listings (Sponsored boosts)

• Business consulting services (Account manager co-develops offers with partners)

• Affiliate revenue - booking through the site

• Referral revenue - using promo codes from website on-site

• User premium subscription - with priority access and special discounts

• Ad Revenue

• Niche First Party Data

Why invest?

• StudioPass works like a niche version of Yelp. If Yelp can make money, so can we!

• No product, no space, no overhead. Our jam is the best information about your real local world. StudioPass aggregates, curates, and augments the presence of local businesses.

• Online directories are dominated by fast food and restaurant categories. Businesses in other niche spaces have trouble standing out in mainstream directories. By indexing non-restaurant experiences, StudioPass allows niche providers to stand out.

• StudioPass operates like a co-op.
  To invest in StudioPass you must be a business and you must join our co-op.
  In StudioPass, businesses will always get a share of the work they put on the site.
  Businesses can sign up for a co-op membership or contribute in-kind in the form of content, website traffic, or special offers.
